34 Best Asian Restaurants in Seattle

“Cute, kitschy, casual ambiance. The Lao chicken noodle soup- wow. I’m so picky with noodles of any kind and this was spot on al dente ( I think it’s house made) and the broth was rich and deep without being overtly salty. The bork belly was also great and paired well with the soup.“

“Teriyaki is obviously delicious at this spot, but what sets it apart is the service: I ordered one lunch special but they saw that I was with a friend and they automatically gave me a free extra plate of rice so I could share my huge portion of teriyaki! Truly amazing place that I highly recommend. It’s also close to the light rail so that’s another plus“

“Walked by the night before and didn't have time to pop in after work, but took note of the cool looking new spot in GTown. Checked out the menu and my mind (and belly) wouldn't allow me to go another day without experiencing the enoki fritters, so a late lunch ensued with fritters and street corn today. Ridiculously tasty, will be back with friends and family to try the rest of the menu and I'm sure you'll be serving my coworkers (repeatedly) as well. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Our first visit was yesterday for lunch and we had Chicken Xiao Long Bao, Chicken pan-fried potstickers, Chicken and Vegetable Won-tons in sweet and sour sauce and Spicy (Ma la) noodles.....all were very good! The service was excellent and we enjoyed the whole experience!!“

“It's a small, intimate setting with super friendly service. Every dish we had was just delicious and done well. From the Seafood pancake (which was actually crispy and made fresh so well) to the spicy chicken to the grilled pork belly, you are assaulted with deliciousness constantly. I've been there 4 times and I couldn't recommend more.“

“This mom and pop shop had everything I needed for a quick stop for food and snacks. I wanted a quick bite and stopped here last minute. Easily best place in the area for a bahn mi. The ingredients were really fresh and the bread was the best. They did not skimp out out on the pate or meat like most places do.“

“In Seattle, the best teriyaki place in the city is usually the one closest to your house. Nikko Teriyaki is no exception. In my 12 years living in West Seattle, this place has never disappointed. Good portions. Tastes great. Fast service. No suprises.

Tip: Ask for a (free) extra salad dressing. One is not enough for the generous amount of salad you get.“

“Food was amazing. Quick service“

“Customer Service, a great selection of food, the casual layback atmostphere, enjoy the food, don’t rush. Have a good wine selection so step outside of the box and try a wine you never had before, the waiter can suggest. The prices are good, but remember the serving are large, you will not leave empty. This is a must place to go, you will enjoy it, and will come back.“

“Beautiful decor great food,and super delicious food I think this will be a great addition to Belltown.“

“So fresh. My favorite spot to sit and relax alone after work. It’s easy to order and quick and air conditioned. Today I had ikura, Japanese fresh rolls, and a salmon and avocado roll - plus a passion fruit iced tea. Really really good.“

“everything done perfectly! the ice tea was amazing. the sushi was delicious, and the crispy garlic chicken was so good.“

“I’ve lived on Alki since 1989. I’ve seen many restaurants come and go from this location. Lotus on the Beach is the best of them all. The ability to pick from a variety of Vietnamese and Thai dishes is its strength. The owner and staff welcome any and all critiques of the food and service.“

“Meekong Kitchen is a casual Vietnamese restaurant that’s especially nice when you want something warm and comforting on a cold or rainy Seattle day. The menu includes pho and other Vietnamese dishes, and the portions are satisfying without the restaurant feeling overly expensive or formal.

It’s a convenient neighborhood option for lunch, dinner, or takeout when you’re around Belltown. I like places like this that don’t need to be fancy to provide a good meal. A comfortable local choice when you’re craving Vietnamese food, especially a hot bowl of pho.“

“You can pay with cash at the counter, but don’t be surprised when you walk in and see a lot of people standing around. They’ve already placed their order on a kiosk and they’re waiting for their number to be called. There isn’t a lot of flexibility in the menu and I think that’s what makes the flow of service very easy for this company is a very good model of business. There is some dine in seating. Most people just walk out with the container in hand no bag ready to eat everything is pretty much teriyaki based chicken they charge you extra for spicy so I would recommend getting regular and then just adding your own sauce for spice so I don’t have any pictures. I already ate.“

“We did take out and even after a 20 minute drive, the food was still hot and delish! Found them through a 3rd party app and sometimes those are hit or miss, Grillbird was 10/10! Really reasonably priced for the size you get too. My husband and I split a plate and a spam musubi and we were satisfied after! Would highly recommend trying and getting the bang bang chicken. 🤗“

“Excellent food, friendly staff“

“My first time in and really didn’t have many expectations but was blown away by the friendly staff. Ordered papaya salad w/ tofu. Tofu came fried to perfection in my book. Requested some fish sauce, the server asked if I would prefer fish dressing, big smile on my face :). Ordered a (banh-mi) sandwich w/ tofu, tofu was a little soft for my liking but had great flavor and a overly fair amount of ingredients, two thumbs up 👍. I received a side of fish dressing I used some chilly paste in it, the other server asked if I would like to have the chilly oil… ohh man was I happy with that suggestion!! Loved it!! Would recommend for an authentic flavor and palates. Will return and try more. Super excited to have a very good pho place here at the beach!! Thanks for doing what y’all doing there!!“

“My son and I love pho, and on day after his dental appointment next door, we wondered over here and discovered this place.
My first impression is that this place has an inviting, home-like feeling. They bake some pastries/donuts fresh themselves.
The pho was a hit for my son, and we thanked the lady who said it was her very own (or family?) recipe? That was our first visit, so I can't quite remember exactly 😅
I tried their breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. Just the right amount, too.
I'm all about customer service and genuine people. And I can tell these guys have a passion for what they do.
We are always here when we come to this area 🌿🍜🍩🍽🥢“

“Great service by Tyler. The Pineapple fried rice was great!“

“Ordered the chicken teriyaki for takeout at lunch, the food was fantastic! The man at the counter was friendly and had my order ready in less than 5 minutes. Inside is not anything fancy, but clean and cozy. I can definitely see myself bringing a friend or two here for a meal and good conversation in the future.“

“Delicious custard taiyaki and toffee coffee. I did a last minute order from here, and wow; both things were amazing. ❤️“

“Excellent food and taste.“

“Love this place- great teriyaki, fruit, veggie tempura, california rolls, and other options. Friendly owners and great prices, especially for being in Columbia Tower. Hot tip- go between 2:10pm and when they close at 2:50pm for a 20% discount.“

“I only ordered two servings of the shrimp spring rolls because I was grabbing a quick lunch on my way to work, and they were absolutely delicious! Everything tasted so fresh, the portions were great, and you could tell they were made with care. It was the perfect meal, and I’m so glad I stopped by. If you’re looking for something light, fresh, and flavorful, I definitely recommend checking them out. Let’s support our local businesses—they truly deserve it!“

“Finally back OPEN for inside dining and being able to sit at the bar was wonderful! Tasty adult beverages and of course delicious food! Super happy my favorite Thai spot survived Covid !“

“Great vegetarian options and incredible service!! Jason was so kind and helpful, our family would definitely return! We came in with a bigger group, and without being asked he moved tables together for us and was very patient as we all decided what to order. Tofu fried rice was great, and everything was presented well but the California roll came with a beautifully unexpected flower! Overall such a great experience :)“

“I just ordered from here using DoorDash and I absolutely love it!

The sauce and the rice bowls itself have so much flavor! The meat wasn’t dry at all and was actually really tender. Perfect portion size and presentation. The rice bowls remind me of home. It’s healthy, gluten, and dairy free!

I even got a little cute thank you message on one of the boxes :) so cute“

“Yummy buns variety of any kind you want to eat So tasty I’ll come back“

“Great local restaurant“

“Best Bahn Mi in town! Super nice staff! Great food!“

“I was looking for some good good teriyaki that I could get to on the light rail. This spot hit just right! Quick and easy walk from the Othello light rail station. The air-conditioning felt so nice and the customer service was top tier, I love that they have mix and match options for the combos. They took time to help me understand the menu and all the options. Ive been here many times since that first visit. Everything Ive tried so far has been delicious, my family has been happy with their meals as well. Highly recommend !“

“This is such a gem. It's nothing fancy, but their food always tastes great. My recommendations are obviously the chicken teriyaki, chicken katsu, and gyoza. I also had ribs and those were good too. It's a perfect place to go when you just don't want to cook but want something that isn't too greasy. I personally like their salad too, but my partner doesn't like them (more for me 😁). The person who works there (I feel like it's the same woman all the time) is friendly as well! Highly recommend!!!“

“This is a pretty cool concept, where there's a ton of different options to choose from. unlike somewhere like chipotle, though, you actually choose how much of each thing you want, and load your plate up - which resembles a buffet style. But also unlike a buffet, you pay by the pound at the end.

Invariably, this lends itself to any reasonable person skipping the majority of carbs and focusing on the higher-value meats, which is what i did. I was able to get a combination of 16 different foods on my plate, including 9 different meats.
Some of them were pretty good. The salmon was decent enough, the teriyaki was also good, as was the beef meatball. I also liked the bulgogi and spicy pork. As far as meats I didn't like - the chicken breast was astoundingly dry. There was also nothing 'korean' about the Korean fried chicken.

Non-meat wise, I really liked the combination of the yakisoba and kimchi fried rice. Both of these were great options to pair with the meat variety I had in my plate.

The price comes it at around 13 dollars per pound, which is basically what mine ended up being. It's not bad for the amount of meat you get

Overall, this place is the epitome of variety over quality - but if you're just looking to try a bunch of things, there are worse places to find. 7/10“
